Content: In a unique approach to historical representations, the central question of this book is 'what is history?' By describing 'history' through its supplementary function to the field of history, rather than the ground of a study, this collection considers new insights into historical thinking and historiography across the humanities. It fosters engagement from around the disciplines in historical thinking and, from that, invites historians and philosophers of history to see clearly the impact of their work outside of their own specific fields, and encourages deep reflection on the role of historical production in society.

Content: As such, Theories of History opens up for the first time a truly cross-disciplinary dialogue on history and is a unique intervention in the study of historical representation. Essays in this volume discuss music history, linguistics, theater studies, paintings, film, archaeology and more. This book is essential reading for those interested in the practice and theories of history, philosophy, and the humanities more broadly. Readers of this volume are not only witness to, but also part of the creation of, radical new discourses in and ways of thinking about, doing and experiencing history.

Content: "Literary Cynics reconsiders the meaqnings of words like cynicism and cosmopolitanism for Jorge Luis Borges, Samuel Beckett and J.M. Coetzee, testing the limits of their merely cynical cosmopolitanism. Arthur Rose takes as his starting point three moments of aesthetic crisis in the careers of these literary cynics: Borges's parables of the 1950s, Beckett's plays of the 1980s, and Coetzee's pedagogic novels of the 2000s. In their transition to a 'late style', Rose demonstrates how these writers develop rhetorical strategies for coping with fame, cosmopolitanism and aesthetic form that become useful when returning to the canonical texts of their respective 'high' periods. In addition to these 'late' works, Literary Cynics offers a rigorous rapprochement to classic, lesser known, and archival texts by the three writers, from Coetzee's Disgrace to Beckett's letters."--

Series Statement: Critical interventions in the medical and health humanities

Content: "This open access book examines the various ways that shame and stigma became an integral part of the United Kingdom's public health response to COVID-19 during 2020, this book argues that there is an urgent need for public health interventions that are "shame sensitive," addressing the experience of shame as a crucial, if often overlooked, consequence of such interventions. As the Covid-19 pandemic unfolded in 2020, interventions by the UK government maximised rather than minimized experiences of shame and stigma. From healthcare workers insulted in the streets to the online shaming of "Covidiots" and the "lepers of Leiceister", for example, public animus about the pandemic found scapegoats for its frustrations. But, rather than intervene with robust strategies to sensitize people about the effects of this behaviour, the government's healthcare policies and rhetoric seemed to exacerbate experiences of shame and stigma, relying on a language that intensified oppositional, antagonistic thinking, while dissimulating about its own responsibilities. Through a series of case studies around topics such as 'fat shaming', the term 'covidiots', and racial profiling, this provocative book identifies a systemic failure to manage stigma and shame-producing circumstances in four key 'scenes': healthcare contexts, social situations, domestic life and political decision-making.

Series Statement: Edinburgh Critical Studies in Modernist Culture

Content: Presents the first extended account of asbestos in literature, film and visual cultureConsiders the literary and cultural impact of asbestos over the long 20th CenturyTracks material intersections between Modernism and the Environmental and Health HumanitiesModels a new interdisciplinary approach to literature and history of modern materialsFew modern materials have been as central to histories of environmental toxicity, medical ignorance, and legal liability as asbestos. A naturally occurring mineral fibre once hailed for its ability to guard against fire, asbestos is now best known for the horrific illnesses it causes. This book offers a new take on the established history of asbestos from a literary critical perspective, showing how literature and film during and after modernism responded first to the material's proliferation through the built environment, and then to its catastrophic effects on human health. Starting from the surprising encounters writers have had with asbestos-Franz Kafka's part ownership of an asbestos factory, Primo Levi's work in an asbestos mine, and James Kelman's early life as an asbestos factory worker-the book looks to literature to rethink received truths in historical, legal and medical scholarship. In doing so, it models an interdisciplinary approach for tracking material intersections between modernism and the environmental and health humanities. Asbestos - The Last Modernist Object offers readers a compelling new method for using cultural objects when thinking about how to live with the legacies of toxic materials
